June 16, 1999

It was 3 a.m. and Seung Ho had lost Ji Yeon. As he chased her down the streets he lost track of where she ran off to. 

“Ji Yeon!” he continued shouting. His cries echoed throughout the streets. A lot of people heard him yelling. So did the Black Dragons.

Tae Won silently crept up behind Seung Ho. Seung Ho was all alone. Tae Won gave an evil smile. He had a plan. He and his sidekick began to set up a trap for Seung Ho. One which they knew he would fall for.

“Ji Yeon!” I covered my ears. I didn’t want to hear Seung Ho’s voice. I was so confused. All I ever wanted was to be with Seung Ho but now it’s all complicated. I leaned back against the alley wall. I needed time to think.

Seung Ho ran through the alleys as he continued searching for Ji Yeon. Then he ran into Tae Won. Out of the darkness, Tae Won stepped out.

“Looking for someone?” he asked.

“Yeah,” said Seung Ho, glaring at him.

“I’m looking for Ji Sung.”

“The punk that stabbed me?” Tae Won asked furiously.

“Yeah.” 

“I got him.”

“You do?” Seung Ho asked surprised. 

“Hand him over!”

“There he is,” said Tae Won, pointing to a figure up ahead. From the back it did look like Ji Sung but little did Seung Ho know that it was all a setup.

“Ji Yeon?” Seung Ho whispered as he approached the person. It was a Black Dragon member. He grabbed a hold of Seung Ho around the neck and began shooting Seung Ho continuously in the stomach.

I looked out from where I was hiding when I heard gunshots. 

“Seung Ho!” I screamed as I ran out from where I hid. My scream threw the Black Dragon member off guard. Seeing his chance, Seung Ho grabbed the gun from him and shot him in the head. He fell to the floor dead. Tae Won started to run away but Seung Ho aimed a shot directly at his heart. Tae Won fell down dead too.

Seung Ho looked at me and then collapsed to the cold ground. He wasn’t able to hold on any longer. Rain began to pour.

“Seung Ho!” I screamed, shaking him. He was still breathing but barely. I lifted Seung Ho up on my back and carried him to a nearby hospital. The rain drenched us and it grew hard for me to carry him because of the weight. However, I managed to make it. They rushed him into the emergency room.

Four hours later, the doctor came out.

“How is he?” I asked as I ran up to him.

“He was shot 4 times in the stomach region. As you know, a person needs at least one kidney to survive but both his kidneys are destroyed. Unless we can find a donor, he’ll have to die.”

“Give him mine,” I told the doctor right away.

“Are you sure?” I nodded my head. 

“Due to your heart condition, you might die instantly during the transfer.” I nodded my head again. 

“I understand. Please let’s have the operation now.” They tested me and luckily my liver is compatible for Seung Ho.

Six hours later the surgery was completed. It’s a miracle that I’m still alive. I knew that I won't be alive for long though. I woke up finding myself on a hospital bed with Seung Ho on the bed next to me. He was still in a coma. I got out of bed and went near him. I his hair gently as I bent down to kiss him.

“I love you Seung Ho,” I whispered to him. Then I left the room, going to the last place I wanted to be.
